Comment (by dmsnell):

 In [https://github.com/WordPress/wordpress-develop/pull/11064 PR#11064] I
 have proposed a merge which restores the source history of the deleted
 files, but there are caveats.

  - `git` is able to retrieve the history //if// we perform a non-fast-
 forward merge with a parent commit from before the build change. This
 restores the continuity across the delete.
  - I’m completely ignorant on whether we could preserve this structure of
 a merge across the Subversion bridge. We would need to, at a minimum,
 manually create the merge from the `svn` side. Even then, I don’t know if
 it’s possible to have that automatic commit.

 So this is technically possible anyone doing dev work locally could always
 merge in this branch to fix things, but that doesn’t help all of the
 external integrations we can’t control. If we could test this in a
 simulated `svn`-`git` bridge we could know for sure. If we could get this
 merged properly back into the repo then it should resolve every existing
 case that was broken.
